New Chrome Front and Rear Bumper Sets

Press Release From JConcepts:

Amazing detail is important when finalizing any RC build or project. JConcepts has an assortment of bumper parts to fit specific body shells in the market. The late 70’s and early 80’s era wouldn’t be complete without specialty and custom bumper works for pick-up trucks. In the front, winches were so popular and having a build-out capable of holding a powerful winch and to add glamour was a huge part of the custom truck experience. The F-style front bumper set incorporates a plate steel look with chrome finish on an injection molded part.

The plastic bumper is designed to work with bodies such as the JConcepts, 1979 Ford F-250 (#0305 / #0329), 1985 Ford F-250 (#0417), and 1982 GMC (#0381). These body shells have a flat or bumper-less front-end and it allows an easy way to bolt-on the new piece to take detailing to another level. One of the elements of the design, a trimline is added on top of the bumper within the diamond plate surface which can be removed to outfit the chrome plated piece with a mock front winch setup. In addition, JConcepts added a front winch guard that installs with included hardware for a complete look.

Another bonus, the JConcepts front bumper accepts the RC4wd front winch (not included) for those who want the function to go with the look, fit, and finish of the bumper set. The set includes hardware to install to body of choice and to completely assemble with mock winch and guard in a complete fashion. For the retro monster truck enthusiast, there are several ways to finish off an incredible build, and chrome plated bumpers by JConcepts make the job just a little bit easier.

The product is designed in the U.S.A. and always backed by JConcepts customer service, supported, and developed by professionals with style, and authenticity.

Features:

• 1970’s and early 1980’s styling and design
• Injection molded parts with chrome plating
• Includes plate style front bumper with mock winch
• Mock, diamond plate surface
• Chrome plated winch guard
• Retro monster truck goodness

A flashy rear bumper can be the difference between show and shine victory and defeat. The JConcepts rear bumper set which targets the late 1970’s to early 1980’s styling looks the part on a number of shells on the market. It’s necessary for the rear of the body to have a mounting area flat enough to accept the injection molded items and position the bumper just below the tailgate just like the real thing. Bodies such as the JC #0305 / #0329, #0417, #0381 are perfect and accept these new chrome plated goodies.

The two bumpers are very different, the angular corner bumper (1970’s style) appears more like a home-built piece with plated steel, chromed over with a diamond plate finish. This looks good on a work truck, or a hustling piece which provides a little more function and step use on a jobsite or business venture. The (1980’s style) is more glamour, fit to purpose and features a recessed center section to allow for a license plate and looks more like a daily driver or show truck bumper. Each package contains a backer strip which is placed inside the body, and it is used like a large washer to give some resistance or structure to the final assembly.

These items are must haves for retro truck builders looking to give their vehicle just a little more personality. Each set contains mounting hardware, one backer strip, and chrome plated bumpers. The product is designed in the U.S.A. and always backed by JConcepts customer service, supported, and developed by professionals with style, and authenticity.

Features:

• 3mm mounting hardware

As the late 1980’s emerged, bumpers were getting classier, more durable, and lighter in weight. More detail is brought to the table with these JConcepts designed rear bumper options which are also chrome plated. The rear F-type, in all chrome, has the mock diamond plate look, consistent outer radius to blend into newer body styling. The next iteration has included painted sections which resemble added plastic details to finished truck bumpers.

Both bumpers have an additional recess area which allows license plate space that can be recreated with decals or however the user wants to decorate it. In the full-scale world, these bumpers were extremely useful because the recess also created another step to get in and out of the bed of the truck or connection opportunity for a small hitch installation. In the RC world, these bumpers just look fabulous on the back of retro RC bodies such as the 1989 Ford Bronco (#0466), and for exciting future JConcepts body releases.

A phenomenal looking front bumper and grille combination creates a showstopper at any show, get together or classic RC monster truck race.  Another piece of jewelry to add to the truck is the option for a shiny, all-injection molded grille with deep detail which can be installed inside the JConcepts 1989 Ford F-250 body (#0302). Users can trim out the polycarbonate material on the body, add some double-sided tape to the side mounting plates and stick to the inside of the body.

In addition, JConcepts, designing slightly into the future with a nostalgic bumper built to install in a variety of ways. Body styles such as the 1989 Ford F-250 (#0302) look even better with the wrap-around, chrome plated, and black trimmed bumper used in the late 1980’s. This unit is built for a modeler and creator who wants to adapt this to an existing chassis or body with their own ideas and imagination. Custom 3D printing or a custom build is required to mount the bumper for a true hobbyist. Once added to a body or chassis, the user can add the mock grille light buckets inside the bumper for a clean install which can be decaled or decorated from the outside. Depending on the user’s vision, the front bumper can be outfitted with included hardware with either a winch cable guard or license plate frame base for individual looks.
